U-shaped or 'serpentine' line arrangements in sequential flow do not inherently provide higher robustness compared to other line arrangements. Their main advantages include facilitating teamwork, simplifying handling from a central position, and making rework easier due to the proximity of different stages of the process. Robustness of the process depends more on the overall system design, quality control measures, and process management rather than the physical layout of the production line.
